EGY · IRN — PP · MD3Don't touch these
AVOID
Saleh Hardani · tackles / cards
rotation risk — may drop to the bench
FADE
Lasheen / Ezatolahi · cards / fouls over
both on a booking → cautious or subbed
AVOID
Hamdy Fathy · anything
hamstring doubt — start uncertain
⚠ Context watch: local sources report Iran far fresher than in their first two games after earlier travel restrictions eased — relevant if they have to chase late.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Egypt attack a packed Iran block; shots and saves stack up while goals may not. Back the volume on both ends — Salah’s shooting, Beiranvand’s saves — not the result.
